We've got two numbers: 9227 and 3540. Let's find their sum.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 7 & 0 in column 1 and get 7.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 4 in column 2 and get 6.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 5 in column 3 and get 7.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 3 in column 4 and get 12.
We'll write down the last digit 2 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 9227 + 3540 = 12767.
